A former Bristol Township man is accused of insurance fraud after reporting his car was stolen in 2012, following an accident.

Dipan Patel, 34, of Bensalem, was arraigned Tuesday before Bristol Township District Judge Joanne Kline on a felony charge of insurance fraud and a misdemeanor charge of filing false reports in connection with a more than $35,000 insurance payout. He was released on his own recognizance.

Wait a minute........last year they discovered Bucks County employees were involved in a heath insurance fraud scheme totaling over $10M stolen from Bucks County tax payers and the Bucks County DA's office said there wasn't a crime committed. So, no charges were filed and nobody so much as lost their job. How is one instance of insurance fraud a crime and not the other?

OOOOHHHHHHH, it was only tax payer money and most of the thieves were friends and family of local politicians. I see............Mr. Patel, you can only get away with a crime like this if the victim is the tax paying public. And you are not connected enough to walk. So, you will be going to jail.
